Gammer. No, master, no indeed, for then he should have lied;

My cock is, I thank Christ, safe and well a-fine.

Chat. Yea, but that rugged colt, that whore, that Tib of thine,

Said plainly thy cock was stol'n, and in my house was eaten;

That lying cut is lost, that she is not swinged and beaten.

And yet for all my good name it were a small amends;

I pick not this gear (hear'st thou) out of my fingers' ends.

But he that heard it told me, who thou of late didst name:

Diccon, whom all men knows, it was the very same.
